ear notching
Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- Ear notching is a code used for identifying animals based on notches in the rim or holes in the animal’s ear. Several systems are in use and the notches have different meanings in different systems.
- Se caracteriza por la realización de cortes en las orejas del animal. La posición del corte indica el número. La muesca en la oreja provee un sistema de identificación económico y permanente, aunque esta última característica es objetable, ya que al ser mordida la oreja puede perderse la numeración.

Notes about the usage and scope of the concept.- Because of the low number of combinations possible in any ear-notch system, ear notching is not able to provide unique codes for national animal identification schemes, and, in many cases, will not even be able to provide unique identification for all animals in a herd. In order to understand the notch code, it is necessary to know which coding system was used at the time of identification.
